Ever notice that the ones who tell you to calm down are the ones who made you mad?

Yeap. the best thing to do in those situations, is to take a break from the situation. If you're in an argument with someone, go to another part of your house. Your room or the backyard are good choices. Just say, "I want to be alone for a while so I can calm down."
If you're feeling angry and think you need a timeout to calm down, don't wait for a parent to tell you - go ahead and take a timeout for yourself. Let your family know that when you're taking a timeout, they need to respect your space and leave you alone to calm yourself down. A timeout isn't a punishment: It's a cool-down. While you're sitting in your timeout chair, try this cool-down exercise: Put your hands under the seat of the chair and pull up while you count to 5. Then stretch your arms over your head. Take a nice deep breath and let it out. Take this time to think about the consequences - like getting in trouble if you let your temper go wild, for instance.
You also need to let the anger out, but instead of yelling, why not do a bunch of jumping jacks or dance around your room to your favorite music?
What I do that helps me, when someone gets me mad, I go outside and take a walk. Getting away from the situation is always the best idea, so my walk is my "timeout" so to speak. Gives me time to calm down, think about what I'm doing before I say something I regret later, so on and so forth, otherwise people don't want to leave me alone TO calm down. Some people take a drive, that works too.

That has happened to me before too! I always try to just remember that the least words said, the better! I'm sorry that someone has upset you. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day, let's hope so. Thinking about you. Jami
